The Philosophical Egotist Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GG| Hast thou the infant seen that yet unknowing of the love | A |
| Which warms and cradles calmly sleeps the mother's heart above | A |
| Wandering from arm to arm until the call of passion wakes | B |
| And glimmering on the conscious eye the world in glory breaks | B |
| - | |
| And hast thou seen the mother there her anxious vigil keep | C |
| Buying with love that never sleeps the darling's happy sleep | C |
| With her own life she fans and feeds that weak life's trembling rays | D |
| And with the sweetness of the care the care itself repays | D |
| - | |
| And dost thou Nature then blaspheme that both the child and mother | E |
| Each unto each unites the while the one doth need the other | E |
| All self sufficing wilt thou from that lovely circle stand | F |
| That creature still to creature links in faith's familiar band | F |
| - | |
| Ah dar'st thou poor one from the rest thy lonely self estrange | G |
| Eternal power itself is but all powers in interchange | G |
